Cabin Compound in Jackson Is Visually Embellished By The Prominence of The Mountains Beyond

The natural surroundings featuring mountains rising to the northwest and a stream cutting through the southeast corner of the lot embellish the view of this alpine residences.

The placement of the main house and the guest cabin define a courtyard, which is visually enclosed by the prominence of the mountains beyond.

The garden walls of the main and guest cabin, completed with spaced wood slats and a pattern of horizontal windows that include glass along the floor, define a south lawn for family activity. The wall treatment and the varied placement of windows also create a unique natural light pattern within the house.

The concrete wall formed a board that extends into the landscape marks the entrance and defines the circulation through the main house leading to the guest cabin.

The living areas open off this axis toward views of the mountains. Secondary spaces branch off to the north and south forming the private wing of the main house and the guest cabin.

The wooden boardwalk extends to a recently created contemplative sitting area between the wetland and a stand of aspen trees. The use of boardwalks on the property mimics the pedestrian walkways.
